A sinking and a sub

Dutch Harbor radio reporter Alexandra Gutierrez snapped this curious photo on Thursday. Look at it closely. On the left, under the dock there, you can see the fishing vessel Zenith almost fully submerged and enclosed with orange boom. Gutierrez reported the boat went down quickly Thursday morning "for reasons still unknown," and the U.S. Coast Guard was investigating. Now look to the right side of the photo, out in the water. That would be one of the Navy's fast-attack, Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, making a rare and brief appearance in the harbor for a crew change. On Thursday morning. Well, let me torpedo any conspiracy theories right now by saying Deckboss is sure the sinking and the sub are entirely, positively unrelated.

KARMA catching up with Barry McKee...you can only screw people over so long before it catches up to you. Surprised the fuel dock even lets him tie up anymore....he doesn't pay his bills....outstanding creditors from Seattle to the Aleutians....Beware to anyone that encounters this sociopath or his boats. He has NO assets that aren't already attached. There is nothing left but his poorly maintained boats with a crew of disgruntled junkies. Ocean Harvester last month on the rocks and Miss Corinne is likely next.

The sub looks like it might be USN Seawolf class. Note the curved section at the forward bottom portion of the sail.

What's the matter with a little conspiracy, Wesley, it's just business as usual, as required with the most corrupt politicians in the world. Dutch Harbor, to WashingtonD.C. to PPetropavlofski, where everyone's corrupt.

Thank you for sharing the international news it sheds light on what is happening in our own backyard. Also scares the hell out of some of us.

The Russian government is asking the US how Arkadi arrived back in Seattle while under house arrest:

Looks as if you are spending your blogging hours "torpedoing" all conspiracy theories, not just those born on the high seas. Hope you are being well compensated for these "conspiracy busting" articles that you keep birthing.
